2 Figure 1 Soil-Borne Pathogen F. oxysporum Uses Sex Receptors to Track Its Host (A) F. oxysporum spores can sense and track host peroxidase activity. Damaged plant roots release peroxidases to soil. F. oxysporum repolarizes its hyphae toward secreted peroxidases and subsequently enters through wounded root tissue and colonizes host plants. (B) Fungal pheromone receptor Ste2 is essential for peroxidase-mediated hyphal chemotropism. Ste2 and cell-integrity MAPK pathway are required for recognition of peroxidase activity, whereas a different MAPK pathway regulates nutrient-mediated chemotropism.
